seiberwing

a) Smart, powerful, smokin' hot, cunning, immortal...the hardest part is picking a single one.
b) He has rather lamentable taste in women. Omegis, really?
c) Shao Kahn
d) If personal 'verses count, I think he'd be rather compatible with Tariq.
e) I think someone of the powerful soul-eating variety might fit well into the Marvel universe, perhaps in Dr. Strange's department.
f) Raiden.
g) "Devil is a Loser" by Lordi
h) Your Soul is Mine, what else?
i) Something humiliating, possibly a flashback to when he lost Mortal Kombat but with far more humilation involved.
j) Fighting against a far more powerful enemy, falling to his knees beaten and broken, finally dying when his neck is snapped with one swift, victorious snap. Although that's how most of the characters on the show are probably going to bite it.

Because I don't quite know what to ask for, I will go for TF:ani Sentinel Prime. 8)

From:

a) He's complex. We don't get that very much in bad guys.
b) He's a controlling, power-hungry asshole with no sense of morality that doesn't come from Autobot propaganda. I like him, but I like him more when he's getting his pride fed to him.
c) Sentinel seems to be default with Ultra Magnus, which I agree with.
d) "HK-47. They can bond over how gross organics are. :D" -

alanahikarichan
e) Star Trek. He's not any more obnoxious than some of the self-centered cultures they've run into.
f) Megatron. Hell for Sentinel, anyway. Alternately, Sunstorm.
g) "Lobochevsky" by Tom Lehrer
h) A Primer Prime: How I Saved The Autobots From Certain Death. Or something horrifically pretentious like that.
j) I like to think he'll die in Optimus Magnus' arms after bravely taking on a horde of Decepticons and defending something important at the cost of his own life. He needs some measure of redemption.

From:

Thrust, because someone has to.

From:

a) He actually has a brain, unlike pretty much everyone else in the series.
b) The astrology thing gets a bit old after a while.
c) Jetfire. Thrust has ways of making Autobot jet fetishists talk...
d) TFA Shockwave. They would have plotting parties.
e) I always thought that if I ever do a West Wing/Transformers crossover, Thrust should be front and center.
f) Starscream
g) "Mighty Wings" by Cheap Trick. Generic jet song.
h) Alignment
i) Nightmares of failure, I imagine. Either captured by the Autobots or humiliated in front of the other Decepticons.
j) Well, we already know that one.

From:

Don't know about "jet fetishist". Jetfire's a shuttle. He's probably just frustrated by the lack of friendly fliers to hit on.

"Mighty Wings" is not a generic jet song. It is a jet *porn* song.

What, written by Furman?

Now do Blitzwing ;)

From:

Do Blitzwing? I'm a bit small for him.

I don't think Thrust wants Furman writing his biography. It would probably be a bit unsubtle for his liking.

From:

Psherg! Get!

Wasn't Furman's unofficial G2 sequel novel called "Alignment"?

From:

Getting, getting.

Why are you asking me, I know bugger all about G2.

From:

a) He's fun. He's really, really fun. His psychology is great to play with and he always makes things more interesting whenever he's onscreen.
b) You try depicting a guy with a primarily visual way of representing himself in a textual medium without referring to his facial shift every five sentences. ...no, seriously, do it. It would be awesome.
c) Bulkhead. Artshipping!
d) Alpha Q would be a total copout, I suppose. Killdozer?
e) Stargate SG-1
f) Bumblebee
g) "You May Be Right" by Billy Joel
h) Servo Salad With a Variety of Toppings.
i) Immobilized and buried alive with muffled screaming over the commlink.
j) Large explosion caused by a Decepticon plot gone wrong, because that's always a good way to get rid of someone off-camera.

From:

b) You try depicting a guy with a primarily visual way of representing himself in a textual medium without referring to his facial shift every five sentences. ...no, seriously, do it. It would be awesome.
He'd certainly be a challenge ... not sure what I'd write about him.

f) Bumblebee
What about Ultra Magnus?

g) "You May Be Right" by Billy Joel
Hueh. I would have picked "Colliding in Mind" by Skyfire.

i) Immobilized and buried alive with muffled screaming over the commlink.
Does he have any others? ;)

From:

He'd certainly be a challenge ... not sure what I'd write about him.

I know you had that backstory picked out, but that was before he got into his three face rhythm.

Why Magnus?

Don't know Skyfire. I have a pretty limited song list.

Does he have any others? ;)

Having someone else at the party with the same paint job.

From:

Eh, it'd actually be easier to write that as, say, him telling it to Lugnut. It allows for more perspective in several directions.

Well, who else would have been leading the Autobots ... ?

Check your email :)

Haah.

Yes, more people should do this! If only so I can feel less inadequate when I see everyone else struggling with it too. ;P

From:

Dinobot from Beast Wars. Because I never suggest anyone else.

From:

...but I don't like Dinobot.

From:

Oh, ummm...I dunno then.

The new Kirk from the new Star Trek?

From:

Never seen it.

From:

Gah. Uh...TF:A Rodimus?

From:

I'll think about it. Haven't toyed with him much.

Edited Date: 2009-06-05 07:26 pm (UTC)

From:

All three lines of him ;D

From:

Yes~

G1 Galvatron. largely because i want to see you write it all out.

From:

a) Power and passion. When he's done well you get a thrill just watching him go off.
b) His level of madness is hard to get a handle on. Writing him with dignity when he's acting in a very undignified manner is difficult.
c) Rodimus Prime, of course.
d) Galvatron doesn't ship well, not with my fandoms. Ask

faithinfire, there's probably someone single in WH40K with an interest in Evil, Size Large.
e) Something suitably cosmic-horror. I'd say Lovecraft, but I've only read "Rats in the Walls". *ducks head*
f) Ultra Magnus
g) Probably some loud incoherant metal song that I don't have. "Bang Bang" by Armchair Cynic is probably the closest I can get.
h) He wouldn't have one. He lets his deeds speak for him.
i) Restrained, in pain, broken down and left to beg for mercy.
j) A loud death, in fire and sparks. The body would be easy to find but the rest of the scenery would be obliterated.

Errm....*forehead-taps self*
TF:A's Sari?

From:

a. She's a good female child sidekick, who generally isn't damsel in distress all the time but isn't an arrogant prick like Kicker.
b. Season Three Suefication. I liked Sari-the-character when she was aged up, especially in Human Error, but Sari-the-plot-device got old real fast.
c. Shipping Sari feels wrong, even if she's not eight anymore, but I could see Bumblebee.
d. ~~She's a teenager she's a teenager, it's okay to ship now.~~ Alexis.
e. Fringe.
f. Nanosec.
g. "Out of the Shadows" by Iron Maiden
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
i. Their technoorganic halves conflicting with each other, tearing her apart.
j. I think Sari's going to live for quite a while, especially now that her technological half is further revealed, but at some point using too much of that tech-magic at once will overload and destroy her. But in the name of a good cause.

So would it be a total capout to ask for Insecticomics!Dreadmoon?

From:

It would not.

a) He's very formal and precise, which means he doesn't fall prey to a lot of silliness inherent in the Insecticomics environment.
b) A little too uptight, sometimes.
c) ThrustThrustThrust. They can raise little agnostic Mini-Cons together.
d) ...okay, you've got me on this one. I'm really bad at shipping him with anyone who's not Armada Thrust or G1 Starscream.
e) "Skin Horse"
f) Elita 1
g) "Cold" by Emile Autumn
h) Kalis
i) Really, really bad dream? He was in a bad Transformers-turn-human fanfic.
j) Given that the only way Insecticomics characters seem to die is by gunshots, probably falling in battle. Starscream, of course, refuses to let him go anywhere so silly as the afterlife without permission.

Ooh, I wish I'd checked back here earlier. This was awesome, thanks!

Glad you like. ^_^

G1 Shockwave! (but if you don't like him, I would love to hear about TF:A Ratchet, too.)

From:

a) Someone who actually calls the Autobot high command on their bullshit earns a permanent place in my fannish heart.
b) The grumpiness can get a bit too much, especially in the case of Wreck-Gar where it nearly doomed the city.
c) Arcee. After a long time and a lot of therapy.
d) Vector Prime.
e) M*A*S*H. I can't help thinking he'd fit in well there.
f) Lockdown
g) "American Tune" by Simon and Garfunkel
h) The Forgotten Soldiers
i) The Great War. That's enough bad dreams for centuries.
j) He goes back for that one injured mech everyone wanted him to leave behind. The injured mech walks out alive. He doesn't.

DUDE. Awesome, heroic way for Ratchet to go out.

From:

I think it's the way he'd want it to be.

...Rather than commenting three times on three seperate things and flooding your inbox, I'll just do it once.

e) M*A*S*H. I can't help thinking he'd fit in well there.

Oh sweet pants, I can't unsee it. Pretty dead-on all around.

g) "Lobochevsky" by Tom Lehrer

You are made of win. It's perfect, just perfect.

For the record, I think the challenge of trying to write Blitzwing and conveying his personality shifts just through dialogue (and possibly perception, if it's first or third person limited) would be ridiculously fun...just never know what to write about.

Might as well ask it, since I keep popping in for one reason or another. Can I friend you? Please? Because you're kind of sort of made of awesome.

From:

Friend away, I love friends. ^_^

Oh sweet pants, I can't unsee it. Pretty dead-on all around.

I had a small RP going on with...I don't remember who that had that basic premise. Involved him impersonating an ambulance and freaking Radar out very badly.

The only time I've written Blitzwing in fic was when he was constantly in happy mode (due to being happy for most of the fic).

From:

xanykaos.livejournal.com

I lied. One more comment, because I forgot to play:

Beast Wars: Rattrap?

From:

I should probably put in a 'no Beast Wars' caveat, shouldn't I? I like the series, but I'm not great at writing most of the characters.

From:

xanykaos.livejournal.com

Gotcha. So...TFA: Bumblebee, then?
